14 Months Later, Still No Buyers for 45 Third Place!
Can you say “bad karma”? Since the two duplex units at 45 Third Place (affectionately known as the Carroll Gardens Atrocity) hit the market back in September of 2006, not a single buyer has wanted the dubious distinction of owning a piece of what’s become the poster child for inconsiderate and non-contextual design in Brownstone…

Surprisingly, in the face of this rejection, the developer has stuck by his guns and refused to lower the prices: The upper unit is still asking $1,555,000 and the lower one $1,595,000. Interesting that Brown Harris Stevens is hanging in there.

Would it be rude for me to say HA! HA! HA!?
The market has spoken. And so have the Karma Police.
2:43 – You are so right but the Brownstoner reader doesnt represent the entire real estate market (thank god)
hey 2:33….i would argue that most people who read BROWNSTONER, do indeed buy a home based also on the exterior.
otherwise, i don’t think people would be so excited to live in dark, cramped, small roomed homes.
(i love brownstones and live in one, just sayin…)
The issue is the price and the finishing. Despite the ridiculous commentary on brownster, virtually no one buys or doesnt buy an APARTMENT based on the exterior. You live on the INSIDE! – In fact you probably see the exterior of your building less then anyone else (since you generally only see it when coming home wheras your neighbors see it coming and going)
I walk by this house every day and I went to an open house. The construction began years ago and not much has happened in the past 6 months. Like another poster noted, there are broken windows and a long punch list. The addition to the house adds nothing to the interior. It is an odd layout. A couple of months ago they added landscaping after the condos had been on the market for more than 1 year. They have made odd choices. They could start by fixing the windows.
this is what all of williamsburg looks like.
just without that lovely old home attached to it.
“Looks like the gorilla glue that they used to hang the extension onto the old roof is oozing out…”
Yes, it’s just repulsive. The seam is so visible. Can they be serious?
it’s ugly, but the main problem is that the units are way overpriced.
CG will never be the same again. Ever.
